Data Discussion
Clear Impact notes to program: I have the denominator for both better off measure being the how much measure (as noted in your NUM/DEN identification document- attached), but the numbers don’t match (HM= 22; Better off measures show 21/30 and 9/12)
Program response: This is where it's difficult to use these reports for data. There were a total of 37 youth ACTIVE in the program at year end. 22 in their first year, 15 were second year students. Not all clients get all of the requirements fully completed by year end, depending on WHEN they entered the program. We continue to add clients through-out the year. Also, we have clients who lose engagement for multiple reasons through-out the year. Therefore, we have clients in different cycles in the program. This cannot be fully measured in a year end report. So by June - year end -- 22 clients completed core requirements. Some of these clients were part of the previous years cohort, so their LifeSkills numbers were included in last year's reporting. That is why 21/30 (those were the clients eligible to attend ABE/GED classes based on age - we have 16/17 year olds in the program per grant requirements). 12 clients attended NRFCC which was 48 hours and 9 PASSED the final certification test. Many clients were working or attending school during the 48 hours of NRFCC.
